(Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: Her Rightful Place” by Jacquelyn Smith.) Arinmalia holds herself above the rest of her Wild Elf tribemates. With good reason. Few can match her fighting and tracking skills. She needs no friends to watch her back, or distract her with their tiresome company. She prefers to walk the forest paths alone, with only her own thoughts as her companions. Arinmalia knows in her heart a great destiny awaits her. Something beyond the modest village life of her tribe. She dreams of finding it. She hungers to make her tribemates understand. She needs them to acknowledge her rightful place. A stand-alone story from the sprawling history of the elves in the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. (This adventure takes place before the World of Lasniniar novel Light Chasers.)

Life is about change, and growing that part of your spirit that is in need of an upgrade. Claiming your rightful place in this life and owning the space you occupy is your birthright. Suffering from a false sense of unworthiness will have a negative effect on your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We sometimes fail to truly believe that we are good enough to deserve the very best, and we neglect to practice our new, proposed future every day. Now is the time to realize the magnificence of who you are and to claim your rightful place and shed the old skin of wrong belief systems and fear. Ignorance of what is going on in this world will keep you in a mental, emotional, and physical slavery. It is time to wake up. You are the something great this world needs; otherwise you would not be here.

The nation has unfinished business. After more than two centuries, can a rightful place be found for Australia’s original peoples? Soon we will all decide if and how Indigenous Australians will be recognised in the Constitution. In this essential book, several leading writers and thinkers provide a road map to recognition. Starting with the Uluru Statement from the Heart, these eloquent essays show what constitutional recognition means, and what it could make possible: a political voice, a fairer relationship and a renewed appreciation of an ancient culture. With remarkable clarity and power, they traverse law, history and culture to map the path to change. The contributors to A Rightful Place are Noel Pearson, Megan Davis, Stan Grant, Rod Little and Jackie Huggins, Damien Freeman and Nolan Hunter, Warren Mundine, and Shireen Morris. The book includes a foreword by Galarrwuy Yunupingu. A Rightful Place is edited by Shireen Morris, a lawyer and constitutional reform fellow at the Cape York Institute and researcher at Monash University.

Today's parents are increasingly replacing nursery rhymes with the latest pop songs, and fairy tales - now thought too scary for little ones - with cute stories about farmyard animals and talking trains.Until recently, weird tales of fairy curses and flesh-eating ogres were considered suitable bedtime reading.

And what exactly were the morals and lessons we were meant to learn from them?Here Comes a Chopper to Chop Off Your Head delves into the origins of the best-known rhymes and tales to uncover a legacy of folk superstition, rotten royal families, execution, child marriage, cannibalism, and the multitude of other random acts of cruelty that make up any classic treasury.You'll learn about the bloody history of Mary,Mary, Quite Contrary; why Margery Daw, the subject of an innocent-seeming seesaw game, was accused of being a 'dirty slut'; and how pretending to decapitate your little friends to the tune of Oranges and Lemons became an acceptable pastime.You'll also find out about the terrifying events that befell the first Sleeping Beauty when she finally woke up; how Snow White's stepmother really died; and just who the wolf was in Little Red Riding Hood.
